Repeat after me: We love bell peppers and beef!
Ah, bell peppers and beef, the staple food of the citizens of Bebop. First introduced to us in Session #1 (Asteroid Blues), the legendary dish has spawned millions of fanfics, parodies, and has become a trademark phrase associated with Bebop and nothing else.

Jet, you said bell peppers and beef...but there's no beef here.

Legendary Spike Spiegel complaint. And Jet's response?

It is if you're broke.

As much as he complained about it, however, in Mushroom Samba, as he was starving:

I want some bell peppers and beef...

Yes, bell peppers and beef were with them to the end...To the very end.

Session #2, after Spike rescues Ein and brings him home:

(Ein splashes cold water over Spike)
Spike: That's why I said I didn't want any stray mongrel mutts in here!
Jet: But you're the one who brought him here.
Spike: *chokes*


Jet: We have to do something about the ticks (about Ein)
Spike: Let's just salt him and eat him...


Spike: Jet, do you know that there are three things that I particularly hate?
Jet: Really?
Spike: Kids, animals, and women with attitudes...so tell me, why do we have all of them neatly gathered in our ship?

-after Ed joins them, when Ein and Faye are already on board.

Scenes from Session #11: Toys in the Attic
Jet gets bitten the strange, mysterious mutant/space creature thingy. On herbal medicine for the bite:
J: Are you sure this is gonna work?
S: It works on everything but near-sightedness and cavities.
J: Then it works on athlete's foot?
S: Yeah, sure.
J: Don't you have any real medicine that's just for sores and wounds?
S: (Holds up dried lizard) That would be this.
J: Ew. That heals wounds?
S: Yup, you squish it up and boil it in three cups water and when it gets green and goopey, you drink it.
J: Isn't there something more different?
S: Oh, yeah, I got it.
J: Yeah, give me that.
Spike holds up a scorpion
J: I'll take the other thing.


On the green goopey medicine:
J: Great. I'm feeling a lot sicker than I did before. Do I look pale or what?
S: You're always pale.
F: (coming in) What is that awful smell?
S: Herbal medicine.
F: Herbal medicine? That swill? Smells like day-old roadkill soaked in sour milk and maggot juice.
S: Mmm...more like rotten soy beans and turpentine.
F: Oh yeah...


(At the end of Session #11)
Spike: So that's the story. And the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

Session 21:
Faye: A fine romance (about Jet's young female friend)
Spike: I'm afraid she's too young for that.
Ed: (in background) Hotdog bun, not too young.
F: Maybe he's got a thing.
S: Eh, well, in that case, I'd say she's too old.
E: Oldie-moldie, history, mystery!

Session 17:
Jet: Spike, did you eat it? (About the empty box of emergency rations)
Spike: I wouldn't leave the empty box lying around as evidence.

Session 22:
Spike: Are you brain dead or what??? (when Andy mistakes him for the serial teddy bomber...AGAIN.)

Andy: But my Onyx is no ordinary steed. She's a good compadre who eases my mind and plays a decent game of chess.
Spike: Horses can't play chess!!!

Andy (to Faye): Now, why don't we drink to me. And my reflection in your lovely eyes.

Spike (on Andy): What part of me can be anything like that stupid ass?!?!
J: The part that makes you so troublesome.

Andy: Let's settle this once and for all.
Spike: (Indignantly) Damn it, you stole my line!
Teddy Bomber: Why won't you listen to me?
Both: Shut up!

Spike: It was just a rich boy's hobby. He was on another level -- or let's say out of his league -- with me.
